Mr. Courtney's speech at Liskeard on Thursday was so able,

that we have called special attention to it in another column. Here we will only add that though he carried a certain number of his constituents with him, and was told by the majority of

the delegates that he had their fullest confidence, he was warned by others that he would probably lose his seat on a dissolution, if he did not vote for the second reading of Mr. Gladstone's Bills. In the minds of a great many voters, a political opinion cannot be Liberal which is at issue with Mr. Gladstone's,— not even if it be endorsed by Mr. Bright.
